I would love this to happen and real consequences are given. Fire those that were already walking a thin line, and see how much their ass if going to enjoy being even more broke. Any black person with a clue or decent job will know to come in to work.

Quoted: The jokes write themselves. Link Officer-involved shootings over the past several years have given rise to the Black Live Matter movement and a number of protests nationwide. Most recently, protesters took to the streets in Charlotte, North Carolina, following the death of Keith Lamont Scott at the hand of police officers. But African American actor Isaiah Washington who is best known for his role in ABC's "Grey's Anatomy," proposed a different kind of protest in a Facebook post on Tuesday: "Imagine if every single African American in the United States that was really fed up with being angry, sad and disgusted, would pick ONE DAY to simply 'stay at home' from every single job, work site, sports arena and government office in the United States of America. I'm very sure that within 72 hours from Wall Street to the NFL...Black Lives Would Matter. September 26, 2016 is THE DAY." eheheheheheheh........really? |

I would like to defend my dark skinned brothers and sisters by noting that a great many Black people are fine, capable, productive, hardworking, citizens. I say this not because I'm afraid of being called a racist, but because I just want all the Black folk out there who are living up to their end of the Social Contract to know that truly appreciate them and value them as fellow citizens... But, it ain't those Black folk who are going to be taking the day off in protest. |

Well, it's Monday morning, and everyone is showing up for work here at my office. Guess they didn't get the memo. Too busy having a life and being productive members of society I guess.
But then, I work in a professional office (land law), and it's considered a good gig. |

A collation of census bureau and fbi crime report data. I didn't create it, but I looked up GDP and it checks out and the crime stuff looks generally right from having seen the stats before. |

Yeah, that'll work. The African born blacks don't identify well with American blacks. The Caribbean blacks are discriminated against by American blacks and they probably won't support it either. The middle class American blacks don't identify with the po either.

Before I retired I had a number of out of status Africans that I arrested tell me that they don't understand why black Americans have such a bad attitude. They'd gladly trade places with them in a heartbeat. I'm guessing that life in America is much better than in Africa. At least that's the consensus from most of the Africans that I have talked to.  I haven't come across a single one that wanted to go back to Africa. It's too bad we can't do an exchange program (sending some of ours to Africa) as a lot of these out of status Africans seem to be hard working people. (Not counting the criminal ones that commit fraud and thefts).
